Reliance Industries Graduate Engineer Trainee (Get) Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

General Tips: The technical paper is not that easy (But it doesn't matter much since it's all relative). This is the basic tip for any interview- try to keep the interviewer in the subject that you know about it. A lot depends on the HR person. Just be frank with him. Give 'to the point' answers. The whole process took two days and in the end I was satisfied. The interviews were easy to handle, compared to many other companies that I had sat for.
Skill Tips: It is important to have some basic technical knowledge when you are sitting for a core company. If you have done your project in a core subject, please be thorough with that. As for people from EEE, important topics that RIL asked questions on: Machines- Induction motors, Synchronous Machines, Transformers. Also try to understand the basic concepts of DCMachines. Just basic understanding of these subjects as taught in class is enough.

Although there was no separate HR round, few questions such as why reliance, how do you see yourself after three years were asked.

Motivation: According to me, it is really important at the first stage to identify the sector that one wants to pursue and then target that sector and then work towards it. One must set realistic goals and one must be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Round: Test
Experience: the test had aptitude and technical sections in equal parts. the aptitude part was very easy, you have to score almost full in this section if you are from IITs. The technical part was also easy, but you have to get your basics right to score well in the test.Once you got through the test round,you have great chances of getting the job.During my placement, they selected people who scored above 90%.
Tips: In the technical round, all the topics will be covered, so you should be clear with your basics in all the topics.I had to put special attention on topics such as pumps since it was not taught for us.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: If you have an above average CGPA, they try really hard to eliminate you in the technical round, so brace yourself and be ready for it.If you are an average pointer,you will find it relatively easy, you will get through the round provided you don't show your stupidity.
Mine was a stress interview right from the start, they didn't agree upon whatever I said. In fact at one point one of the interviewer turned towards another and just said "yeh kuch bhi boltha hai yaar". At the end I got through. I attribute my success to the tolerance and patience I showed during the interview.Whatever they say try not to give up and try to answer their questions in a crisp manner.
They asked questions about my projects as well as questions on application of chemical engineering in the industry.
Tips: I attribute my success to the tolerance and patience I showed during the interview.Whatever they say try not to give up and try to answer their questions in a crisp manner.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: All the candidates who got through the technical round got the jobs.So as you can understand the HR round is "Naam ke vasthe" atleast during my placement.

College Name: IIT MADRAS
Motivation: Wanted to do work in core chemical engineering.And in reliance, since it has the largest petroleum refinery in Asia you will have great learning oppurtunity.
Funny Moments: In my first round of interview, they really tried to stress me out. At one point in the interview they looked as if they were not interested in whatever I say and one of the interviewer tried to show that intent by telling the other interviewer "Yeh kuch bhi boltha hai yaar"(He is bullshitting). But since I knew that I was not bullshitting, I didn't yield to the stress and answered all the questions patiently.
In the HR round, since there was a point about chemistry Olympiad, they asked me a question on chemistry. I didn't really know the answer but I tried to answer it. The interviewer was a chemistry graduate and she got visibly angry at my effort of answering. She yelled at me and created an impression I screwed it up.But at the end she suddenly burst into a laugh and told that I got the job.Happy ending atleast :)

College Name: NIT AGARTALA

Skill Tips: Average academic record (CGPA > 7) will be good. They didn’t look much at extra-academic involvement. Good understanding of concepts of electrical machines and in general, departmental subjects. Projects and internships would be discussed in detail during the interview but only if they are in the areas of electrical machines, power electronics or power systems. The interviewer will then mostly ask questions related to those topics. In my case, the internships were in a totally different field and therefore were not much looked at.
